Locating A Responsible Golden Retriever Breeder And Tips On Knowing If You Have A Responsible Breeder

This past Saturday, we added a new member to our family. A seven week old Golden Retriever. His name is Lincoln and he was born on June 13. After losing our adopted Golden Milo to cancer in May, we definitely had a hole in our heart that was longing to be filled. We knew we wanted another dog to join our family.

We spent a lot of time thinking about and researching what kind of dog to get. Ultimately, we decided that we wanted another Golden Retriever. Their temperament really suits us. Golden Retrievers are wonderful family companions. They are obedient, playful, intelligent, well-mannered, great with kids, and strangers. Another plus is that they are easy to train because they love to please you and will do anything for a some praise and a treat.

We considered adoption again, but after taking in an older dog and losing him so suddenly, we decided that we wanted to start with a puppy and have a dog that we would hopefully have many years to enjoy.

During our search to find a Golden Retriever puppy we came across some helpful information that I want share with you. I am sure that a lot of this information can be carried over to most any breed that you are considering.

We found all of these to be true with regards to the breeder that we used. They have been wonderful about answering our questions and even told us to call them anytime we had a question!

Lincoln has already filled that hole in our hearts. (Although he will never replace our sweet Milo!) We feel so blessed to have him join our family and we are looking forward to many happy years together!

He is the sweetest! I wish you many years of play and love with Lincoln! (And I can't lie that I am looking forward to layouts featuring him!) Thanks so much for sharing your story and all the great advice about finding a breeder!

Lucky you to have Lincoln! So sad to here about Milo but good for you for adopting him and loving him. We had a golden for 17 years. Mousse was her name and she was part of our heart. Have fun with your puppy!

Such wonderful advice. A friend of ours just got a white lab pup that ended up getting sick right off the bat. They took her back & she and all of the puppies died. They had parvo. They only had the puppy for two days, but as you know, you fall in love from the first second. I will pass your blog info along to her. Milo is smiling down from doggy heaven. Lincoln is precious!
